There will never be another awesome show like Magnum PI with Tom Selleck I don’t care how many remakes they do!

[@bshulman5113]

I purchased my 1675 Pepsi in 1993 for $1,200. I never knew it would be collectable back then.

[@treedillinger5801]

Would you take $2,400 for it? 😁

[@bshulman5113]

@@treedillinger5801 I dont blame you for trying but I'm hanging on to this one for the long haul 👍

[@treedillinger5801]

B Shulman I understand. Good choice.

I’ll give you 6k!! :D

I bought a Seiko Pepsi back in high school because it looked like TM's watch. Many years later I bought a Rolex GMT pepsi for the same reason, although the plastic crystal scared me a bit. I bought the 16750 for around $3500. Now they are around $10,000. I can't believe how much they went up in value. Great investment, but I'm such a Magnum fan, I'd never sell it.

The Pepsi GMT is one of Rolex's best watches. The perfect combination of class, sports, and ruggedness. Selleck also wore a Pepsi in his more recent Jesse Stone films.

[@smr32061]

Loved Magnum P.I. original show from the 1980's. I remember watching it when I was away at University. And yes, how could anyone not remember Magnum's Pepsi GMT. I'd say that the popularity of the show, and Tom Selleck wearing the GMT made the Pepsi as popular a watch in American culture as James Bond did for the Submariner. In fact for me, growing up and watching James Bond movies and seeing him sport a Rolex Submariner made me want one and I did eventually get one once I turned 40. So, I would say certain shows and personalities can have a huge effect on the popularity of an item. Product placement for companies in films or TV, is the best marketing. It can pay off for them in a big way if a movie or show turns out to be successful at the box office or in ratings.

[@johng.6222]

One of the coolest actors in Hollywood wearing the coolest watch ever! Great vid Chris!

[@ENCwwe]

Magnum is a great show for watch enthusiests. I love the way they wrote this watch into the show. Also earlier in the series Selleck wears a really cool Chronosports diver. It also features what looks like a president, possibly a gold Daytona, and possibly a cartier tank worn by other characters.

[@_-MiamiVice-_]

I love this GMT, but the Chronosport Sea Quartz 30 he wore in the first 3 seasons, suited his character much better. I just managed to aquire one, after looking for 8 years, with the same dial/bezel/black day-date window configuration. I would honestly not trade it for the rolex :)

[@blueshirtbuddah1665]

Another great video Chris. One of my favorite shows was Magnum pi. Thanks.

[@chrisSkylin3]

Great video. Magnum is my favourite tv show of all time.

[@robertschmidt9584]

One of my all time favorite pieces. Whether 1675, 16710, 16700, etc...they are absolutely classic. Great video and like your perspective and not the money to be made from these.

[@blackbird5634]

*As a commercial diver i've worn everything from the Seiko ''Captain Willard" Prospex, to the Casio $35 dollar stainless-Walmart special and while the Prospex was on the steep end, it still wasn't $3,000+. AND the Casio Stainless dive watch, rated to 660ft, was a good watch. I never worried about losing it, breaking it, or anyone stealing it.

[@DrDan-ue9de]

Another great video, Christopher! A couple other ideas to feature famous Rolexes: Robert Redford's 1680 in All the President's Men and Jeff Bridge's 5513 in King Kong, Against all Odds and Jagged Edge...

[@TinBin-Craig]

iconic watch i love it.... cheers...

[@michaelmurray258]

Recently had my father's 1965 GMT Master 1675 appraised for insurance purposes. They came back with a figure of $16,000. Simply the most beautiful watch I've ever had the pleasure to own.

[@chadmackie]

I just bought a 1675 with the small GMT pointer and gilt dial. It's a keeper

[@watching5811]

Best Review ever👍👍👍 - more of that movie and TV content please👏🏼

[@NateOhsChannel]

So cool! Another great video, Chris!

[@willyk8296]

Great video as always. Can’t wait for the Blue Bloods review!

[@mariofalfan2997]

I loved the 80’s Magnum and loved that Pepsi Rolex, I could never afford that watch, so instead I bought a 1967 5513 and it took me years to find the period correct buckle to complete it with the jubilee bracelet !

[@NorCalLuxury]

So good I just watched this video twice.

Great video brother as usual

[@thewaitingape]

I'm going to be that guy. In the context of the show Magnum receiving that Rolex is anachronistic. His father was a pilot in the Korean War which ended in 53 the GMT wasn't introduced until 54.

[@bugsymalone1660]

Met Tom Selleck in Hawaii in 1982 🙄 the guy who played TC ? He was a gentleman.

[@IrishScribbler]

Your post made no sense. Did you meet Tom Selleck OR did you meet Roger E Mosley, who played TC?

[@bugsymalone1660]

Matt Phelan I met both I was at the helipad after taking a helicopter trip around Hawaii, it was the same day that they were filming for Magnum tv series. I met Tom Selleck as he was shuttled between his on site trailer to the set. But I met TC as he parked up his van in the car park , what a lovely man he was he had all the time in the world for myself & my family he was asking us about Scotland and what people thought of the show there & he even shared out a bag of oranges he’d brought with him to the set. I got pictures with him.

[@IrishScribbler]

Bugsy Malone Gotcha. You’re very lucky! I’ve only met Dwight Schultz and Dirk Benedict at a comic book convention, but Tom’s always been my hero.

[@NorCalLuxury]

I love this watch. Preceramic

[@maverickwatchreviews]

Great show and every teenage boy back then wanted that Ferrari 308! Oh and the Rolly is cool too✌️

[@J-tu2pb]

I have a Casio duro dive watch with a Pepsi bezel. Even though it is a 60-70$ Casio watch I get a ton of compliments and people asking me what kind of watch it is. It’s an eye catcher. Maybe one day I’ll get the Rolex but until then I’m sticking with the Casio that looks like the Rolex magnum wore.

[@Hialeah1925]

It’s my grail watch because I grew up on the show

[@TONYSESLCAFE]

I would never watch the new magnum, only the original...

[@rolandomontenegro4130]

Yeah. Love Magnum but not feeling the new one. Higgy Baby is a woman? And she’s part of Magnum’s team? And there’s sexual tension between Higgins and Magnum? C’mon man

[@nazu5998]

hope my blnr can go up in value like the vintage pepsi one day

[@cz1always608]

Weird I when my father passed. I got his watch. Yes the same one . 1969 watch . My mother said he paid under 300 for it . She remembers it well . She was pissed . He spent that kind of money on a watch

[@dicklongmire6836]

Was it a 1675? Since Magnum started wearing a Rolex plexi Pepsi in season 4, I was under the impression that it was a early run 16750 MK.1 matt dial with the painted indices. The 16750 was produced from 1981 to 1988 and one easy way to tell it apart from it's elder brother, the 1675 is the hand stack orientation. The 1675 24 hour hand position was on bottom closest to the dial while the 16750 was moved in between the hour and minute hands. Also note the beat rates between the two were different and noticeable in person. The early 1675's (1959-1964) had a caliber 1565 beating at 18000 and the later production 1675's (1965-1980) had a Cal. 1575 running at 19600 bph (hacking introduced 1971) With the introduction of the 16750 introducing the 3075 3075 running a modern 28800 bph with hacking, quickset. What sometimes confuses new collectors is that the 1675 caliber is referred to as either 1565 or 1575 but stamped 1560 or 1570 on the movement itself which can be seen with the case back removed. These calibers are commonly found on the Date just of the same period. The 5 is the GMT variation of each.

[@itscomplicatedwatches]

Pretty sure it was a 1675.

[@michaelbrown5838]

I'm confused. Isn't the watch he wears in Blue Bloods the same watch. He said that's the only prop he kept from the show, and he has worn the same watch in the Jesse Stone movies.

[@IrishScribbler]

No, it’s a Datejust in Blue Bloods, but in Jesse Stone he still wears the GMT.

[@edwri9759]

Or was it a 16750?

[@leebrowwski]

I remember when the character Higgins was posturing and effeminate and Magnum could roll with a punch. Fast forward to 2019 and it is the other way around.. But Rolexes still represent what they stand for after all this time.

[@cogitaretoo]

Higgins wasn't effeminate; he had class. To an American, that probably comes off as effeminate because American men are so unbelievably insecure about their masculinity.

Buying second hand is always tricky but the best way to learn is to read up online, do some KZbin searching, and watch your ass.

[@vc5183]

As much as I love magnum pi, on this particular clip I liked the bit where the presenter guy let us look up his nostrils the whole time.

[@andysmith1996]

If you’re going to splice in shots, please at least try to match the original framing. The constant jumping in size of the backgound is really distracting.

[@itscomplicatedwatches]

I usually jump around to show I'm not hiding in the edits but I'll consider it the next video I make. Cheers.

[@andysmith1996]

@@itscomplicatedwatches Sorry if I came off as a douche; I wasn’t meaning to be. It was genuinely meant as constructive criticism, because I did find it distracted from your commentary.
